neil 2,409 #253 Posted June 28, 2012 I agree with your wife Lars that the tins look wicked as they are .& the cast iron engine block would als look amazing if you take the paint off that and leave natural I have an engine here that i have used the black graphite paste that is used to clean old victirian cast iron Fires and when it is pollished up it looks fantatsic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lars 526 #254 Posted July 2, 2012 yepp i agree.. but to chrome the tin here is way to expensive.. and just paint it whit clearcoat wont last so long before the paint goes off.. But i have got some of the part painted whit epoxy to day.. and the rest tomorrow.. Then i have to get some red color on some parts before i put it a bit together.. then give all some good coat whit paint... will try to take some pict tomorrow of the epoxyprimed parts..

Lars 526 #257 Posted July 6, 2012 Hello fellas.. well i have got some parts painted now.. i have painted the rims and seatpan. but i was unlucky whit the back rims..need to paint them one more time because of the primer it was bleeding thru the paint.. so i have to sand them a bit and get a new coat of paint on it and clearcoat.. but here are some pict of how it looks if u click on the pict u get them bigger.. good enugh for me.. And i have also put the tires on the rim.. Front side back side Front side back side and i had to do a test to see the color whit a white paper and i kinda like the color well thats all for now.. more to come Thanks.
